Good tour of the Glasgow Street Art - Great tour of some of the wonderful murals in Glasgow with background on the artists. Beware of them taking a group photo in at the end of the tour, she said it was to "prove she did the tour" but the real purpose was to use as advertising. She didn't say that it would be posted to their site, otherwise we would not have joined in the picture. We know for next time.

A fortuitous error! - Excellent tour! I thought I had signed up for the City Centre tour, but the Street Art was fabulous, and a 'different' focus than your usual tourist walk. Guide Caron was knowledgable, approachable, and humorous. All essential for providing an excellent experience. Many thanks!

A bargain for a street art education! - Our street art walking tour in Glasgow was hands down one of the best experiences of our trip! This tour took us through alleys and side streets, showcasing some of the city's most famous murals. By the end, we could confidently identify major artists and had a newfound appreciation for the sophistication and humor in street art. Honestly, I got more out of this tour than I did from a whole semester of art appreciation in college! The tour was super easy to follow, with plenty of stops to take in the murals and learn about their stories. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and clearly a part of the street art scene himself, which made the experience even richer. His insights and anecdotes brought the art to life and made us see Glasgow in a whole new light. Glasgow's outdoor art and murals are a huge part of what makes this city so amazing, and this tour is an absolute bargain for how much it covers. Some of our favorite murals included the black cab floating under balloons and the giant woman with a magnifying glass. These artworks were not only stunning but also provided some of the best photo opportunities of our entire trip. One of the most jaw-dropping moments was when we saw a mural that spanned an entire block. The detail and scale were absolutely stunning – prepare to be amazed! This tour was a fantastic way to see a hidden side of Glasgow and really appreciate the creativity and talent of the local artists. If you're ever in Glasgow, this street art walking tour is a must-do. It's an easy, informative, and fun way to explore the city and its vibrant art scene. We had a blast and left with a deeper understanding and love for Glasgow's incredible murals.

An entertaining and educational city art walk! - My tour guide was fantastic! Vas was not only entertaining, but she also knew her history. I also absolutely loved the different cultural aspects of the murals in Glasgow. They definitely showed how open-minded and welcoming they are as a city, with murals done by immigrants or murals with subjects that hint at multiculturalism and solidarity. Highly recommend this tour!

Interesting look at street art - Interesting walk and talk. I would have preferred to see a bit more murals and spend less time talking about graffiti (which was interesting, but it was too much relative to the mural time).
